Farhan, You are correct. The "summary" datasheet does not mention it but the curve page 310 of the full datasheet clearly says that 3.3v can run at 10Mhz max (cf http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-8271-8-bit-AVR-Microcontroller-ATmega48A-48PA-88A-88PA-168A-168PA-328-328P_datasheet.pdf ). However, if you define your own board in arduino and define your quartz frequency correctly, all the timing will "magically" adjust and it should work. I have done it before for the leonardo (it was a bit more complicated because of the usb connection). We might also be able to just use a 8mhz quartz and the arduino nano standard config. I will give this a try. thomas On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 5:49 PM, <farhanbox@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thomas, > I couldn't lay my hands on the 3.3v part. The regular 328P will only run > upto 8 mhz at 3.3v.
